positioning device
–– Do not lubricate this device

signs of a fall or any part of the system fails
an inspection

device does not operate correctly it must be
disposed of immediately or returned to the
manufacturer for inspection
–– The device must be kept clean and free from
dust, dirt, grime and contaminants

Anchorage Point/
Anchorage Connector
The first component in a system is the anchorage
point, also referred to as the tie off point. This
secure point of attachment should be capable
of supporting 15kN per worker, and approved to
EN795.
Body Wear
This must be a full body harness. SpanSet design
and manufacture harnesses for all scenarios. Full
body harnesses are designed to arrest a fall and
must be worn when a worker is at risk of a fall.
When there is a risk of a fall the harness must
always be connected to an anchorage via a shock
absorbing element to minimise fall forces and
reduce injuries.
